Golden Chick

I’m not a hug fan of Golden Chick’s food. I lean more toward Chicken Express if I want chicken.
The service, however, is fairly quick here which is nice. I don’t eat here often, it’s more of a place I go with friends if they want to eat here.

This place is usually great but if you go in between 5−6pm or in between lunch hours when its slow they give you crappy quality of food. This has happened to me several times in drive thru, I go back in and they have an attitude, then replace it and I asked them to please give me fresh pieces from the back and I swear it was still the same small crappy pieces they probably just reheated them. And the manager was rude doesn’t care about the customer and argued with me. Sad when your a customer and pay good money and feel like you can’t speak up! I’m paying $ 10 for 6 pieces of tenders I swear they have shrunk or cut them into smaller pieces! I can just as easily go down to Chicken Express instead from now on!

This is the best Golden Chick in the DFW! The restaurant is clean. The staff is always polite. My food is always delicious. I never have to wait long in line. They also have the most amazing rolls ever!

4 stars cuz it’s fastfood. But the staff here is super friendly, especially the boss lady at the register. My go to is the 3 piece meal with a roll and mash potatoes. I always ask for spice.
This location is now a headache to get to from the northbound lane. Arlington had added huge concrete medians along cooper.
Hands down better tenders than the guy new guys up the road. Don’t forget to ask about UTA discounting.

Sometimes we don’t have time to go to a sit down restaurant and take 2 hours getting food. This place is great for a quick bite or you can take your time eating. They have the food out fast and always deliver a good product.
You don’t see many around this area but I have been coming here for years now.
Small place, small parking lot but the food has a lot of flavor. They keep the restaurant clean, even after all the high school students have passed by here on their lunch hour.
Sweet tea is always on point and their rolls are to die for. Not many places have this weird but cool idea of making a buffalo chicken sandwich with 2 rolls smushed together, chicken strips and a piece of cheese– omg!!! Too good to pass on it specially if you like spicy stuff. They also have one without the buffalo sauce. That sandwich is one of the main reasons I come here.
Their customer service is always good, well maybe 1 out of the 300 times I been here was lacking but over all, super good customer service. They have a cup you can pay for one time and you get free refills for the whole year. They also have a b-​day program which allows you to get up to $ 7.50 to spend how ever you want to.
Next time you are around the area stop by and get you a meal or maybe just a sweet tea and some rolls for the road.

So much more flavor than that other chicken place!
They are sooo friendly and always remember us when we come in, and they have super yummy roles!

My husband worked here back in 2006 and then a short time last Summer. He has known the owner for MANY years and we LOVE Pat she is such an incredible person! She takes pride in her businesses… too bad you can’t say the same of her employees. You can tell when Pat isn’t working that day, the food comes out overcooked or rubbery because they were under the heat too long. It just doesn’t taste the same now that she is in two locations. But you can’t blame her! She is a hard, dedicated worker who definitely knows what shes doing! We just hope she can implement some changes with the teenagers so they take as much pride in it!

I love this Golden Chick! I have been to other Golden Chicks but hands down this Golden Chick has the best rolls! I always order the spicy chicken tenders, rolls, and mash potatoes!!! The Dry rub on the tenders make them extra spicy! So delicious!

My brother brought me here yesterday after the tour of UT Arlington. They are known for their chicken and sweet yeast rolls. The chicken here is really good, and it tastes original not like most chicken places. I love their yeast rolls, they are sweet and tasty. Those of the types of rolls, I grew up with at the school cafeteria. The ones they have now for children are all wheat and dry, and tasteless. I am so glad I grew up with the best.
The spicy chicken tenders are seasoned inside and out, I think that was a great idea. I bet the taste is double yummy. Next time, I will order that.
They have this awesome deal where you can get a dozen (12) rolls for $ 4. You can take them home and freeze them. Whenever you are hungry for one, heat it up, and eat/​enjoy.
They have a Golden Chick all over Texas, except for the Houston area. I am not sure why not.

I’ve been here a good amount of times, and I’ll admit that it’s pretty good. But compared to other chicken joints in the area, Golden Chick has really small tenders. This is okay for me, because I think the chicken here has more flavor and seasoning compared to Chicken Express.
There’s a fairly wide selection of sides here: corn nuggets, mac and cheese, fried okra, dirty rice, mashed potatoes, and fries. But I think my favorite side would be the fried okra. I usually get the #1 combo with the tenders, drink and side; it’s enough to fill me up until my next main course. I’ve brought my boyfriend here a few times, and he likes the mac and cheese here. Whatever you choose on the menu, I’m sure it will satisfy your taste buds.
For the customer service here, the employees are always nice. I’ve never had a bad experience when ordering or going through the drive-​thru. There’s an African American woman who works here (she might be the manager), but she always wears a purple lipstick and is extremely friendly and funny when taking your order.
Also, if you order inside, I highly encourage you to fill out a short form on the counter and slip it in the box. Every year, Golden Chick will send you a postcard in the mail that gives you a free meal during your birthday month. I think that postcard encourages me to come here at least twice a year (once for my birthday and once for my boyfriend’s). I’ve been getting those postcards for so many years, so I think it’s a great idea to sign up.

Their chicken tenders are full of awesomeness.

This is a must-​visit place if you’ve ever been a UTA student. (Which was many years ago for me) But nonetheless, the thought of this place still makes me drool like a fat boy over cake and brings back very fond college memories.
I remember always coming here with my friends for a quick lunch between gaps in our schedule and having a great time with great (although quick) conversation. Everyone is nice and you’ll see a variety of different people, including other businessmen, young high school kids walking over from Arlington High, and fellow UTA college students. The place is very simple and pretty small, just like any normal fast food joint, with a crane machine that was really fun to be play, and my friends would always give the prizes to the little kids that would look on with jealousy when we finally got one of the little chicken plushies.
I’ve taste the fried chicken here and it’s kind of greasy but what I love about this place is the chicken fingers with the spicy powder on top. The most tender and juicy chicken fingers I’ve ever tasted! Definitely try this place if you’re in the neighborhood, heck, make a trip down here even if you’re not, it’s worth it!
The one down side and the ONLY reason why I give this a 4-​star resting is because parking is sooo limited! I come here for lunch so it’s usually packed and a lot of times I would have to nowhere to park!

One of my favorite chicken places love the rolls and fries. They have good baked chicken if you do not want fried.

Their fried chicken is quite delicious, actually. It’s like a slightly greasier, saltier version of Chicken Express if you’ve had that. Their fries have a light coating of batter on it, so its nice and crispy. The yeast roll is also a major draw for me. It’s hot and billowing on the outside yet scrumptiously chewy when you bite into it. Its almost like biting into a bread based cotton candy. I must say this is one of the few chicken joint I’ve been to that’s consistently served their product hot and fresh. Major points there.
The other things I’ve tried were their cheese sticks and their jalapeño poppers (both come with a generous side of ranch). You get four cheese sticks for around three dollars and they’re good considering its a fast food place. These sticks have a solid bite but manage to remain satisfyingly gooey. The poppers are not really poppers but more like jalapeño fritters consisting of diced jalapenos, mixed with cheese, breading and then deep fried. I’m not very fond of them.
Regardless, if you’re looking to try a new place for fried chicken in Arlington, I highly recommend Golden Chick.

Hands down a 5 star place (and I’ve been pretty stingy with my 5 stars lol).
I come here quite often and have never been disappointed. The chicken tenders are TO. DIE. FOR. The outside is crispy and the inside is always moist. I always get mine spicy but you can also get the spices on the side (or buy the little container for your work desk like I did too!) It comes with white gravy for dipping but I always get honey mustard instead.
Their wicked wings are really good too (again, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside) but the only bad thing is that they cook to order so it could take about 10 minutes for it (that could also be a good thing. it’s fresh).
Food is served with a yeast roll (everyone I know loves it) and I usually get fries or corn nuggets on the side (I’m not particularly a fan of their mashed potatoes).
I’ve never had the actual fried chicken or fried fish that they also serve because the tenders are enough for me, no need to try anything else!
Service is good, everyone’s generally pretty nice and I think you get some sort of discount (5%?) if you show your UTA student ID.
